Application filed October 28, 1913. Serial N0. 737,758.

Be it known that I, OavrLLE A. VOGEL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Gallup, in the county of McKinley and State of New Mexico, have invented a new and Improved Repeating Rifle, of which the a-full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to rearms and has particular reference to breech-loading guns.

Among the objects Aof the invention is to generally improve the of magazine.

guns so as to make them more. convenient for 1 manipulation' and reliable in use than those her'etofore'f constructedgand' atf the -fsame .-time my purpose-iste improve the appearvinvention will hereinafterffb'e 'more fully de.'

The several parts of the device may be made of any suitable materials, and the relative sizes and proportions, as well as the general design of the 'niechanisnn may be varied to a considerable extent without departingfrom the spirit. of the invention hereinafter'niore fully set forth and specically claimed. g A :f

.A' gun madein accordance with this in` vention comprises, in addition to the usual stock 20 andi barrel.21, 'a, box magazine 22 and other parts associated therewithparticularl ;adjacent .the breech mechanism. This ri e is .adaptedfor quick and easy re- '-peatingeactionbyemeans cfa-reciprocating...

forearm`23 `slidablealong a.V track 'orguidew v24 below the barrel 21. The magazine 22 is of the boxztype and is adapted to contain a number of-loaded cartridges C and provided with a spring 25 in its bottom for the purpose of lifting the shells for the purpose of forcing them home to the breech. The magazine is held detachably in place between the trigger guard 26 andthe front end 27 of the receiver casing 28 by means of a spring bolt catch 29 operating forwardly from the trigger guard and also by means of a lever lock 30 pivoted at 31 on the lower.

right hand side of the casing 28 and having a nose 30' engaging under a lug 32 formed on the front end of the magazine. Said trigger guard is formed as an integral part of the lower tang 33 which, with t e upper tang 34, is connectedto the stock20 by means of a bolt 35.

The mechanism just described provides or constitutes a housing for the-lock mechanism including a hammer 36 pivoted at 37 and operated upon bya spring 38. The trigger 39 acts upon the hammer in the usual way under the force of a spring 40.

At 41 I show what I term a bolt carrier adapted to reciprocate rearwardly for the purpose of extracting an empty shell and forwardly for the purpose of driving a loaded shell home and holding it in position for tiring. Said bolt carrier, as its na'me implies, carries a breech bolt 42 which extends ongitudinally through the carrier 41 and has certain movements with the carrier and other movements independently thereof. The breech bolt has at its front end. a pair vw-ec adapted to interlock against a pair vof. shull ders 44 at the breech casing. The breech of lu diamericallyf-o fromlgseach other and in ci e "positildnareg bolt is adapted to be rotatedwithin the'car'"' rier through an angle of substantiallyQO de. grees for the purpose of bringing the'lulgls',

sho

into orhout -of engagement with said ders 44.l 'Asa convenient and reliable means for effecting such rotation of the bolt I pro'- vide a pin 45 extending through and proj ect'- beyond both sides ofthe bolt andinto a,

pair of cam slots 46 arranged on opposite sides of the carrier 41. The carrieris connected to the forearm 23 bymeans of a pair ofparalle'l blades l47 connected to the. carrier at 47: throu h depending lugs 48 ex- I tialmovementvofthe forearm and. carrier f 'rearwardly-to the extent shownffin Figs.

' reacha substantiallyvertical 'out of' engagement "with-the v TheV bolt vthen'moves 'withV thefcarrier lby virtue of the in 45'in engagement withthe The extractor 49 is in Fig. 7

jand comprises 'a tongue-like memberl extendmg alon the upper surface of the carrier 41, and aving at its front end a hook 49* and just in the rear thereof a finger 49",` said.

hook and finger having constant engagement with, the front end of the breech bolt for the purpose of maintainin the extractor in the same longitudinal position .as the bolt with respect tothe carrier. The frontend of the bolt is rovided with a seat 50 to receive the base o? the cartridge, and the hook 49 is deep enough to engage with the rim of the cartridge when occupying said seat. The -linger 49" is adapted to project into a transverse notch 51 just in the rear-of the upper lug 43 of the bolt so as to insure proper engagement between the hook 49and the cartridge rim. As shown, however, in Fig. 13,

said notch 51 terminates close to .the lug 43v and hence, when the bolt is turned -to lockin position, the finger 49b rides `up on theV cy indrical portion of the bolt at the end of the notch and thereby lifts the hook 49 out of the way of the cartridge. The extractor is held down in engagement with the carrier 'by means of a pin 52 extending transversely through a slot 53. The pin, therefore, prevents upward displacement of the extractor, but through the slot permits relative longitudinal movement of the carrier and extractor. Accidental or unintenositionand" oulders .i 44:1'

Coperating with the extractor is a spring operated ejector 57 acting against the bottom of the cartridge base atthe seat 50, as shown especiallyin Figs. l7 and 16.. .Saidejector is held :fromy accidental: Vdis placement by'means-of a pin 57. actingin a groove 57* of the ejector.- .The pin 57"and lrearwardlyby means of a spring 55'.-v .Sucht movement, however, is limlted bya; verse 56". extending through the bolt. .The front reduced end of theA tiring pin passes centrally through the turning pin the groove-'permitgthe .outer end of the ejector to be v forced rearwardYbthe `car-l tridge when-the bolt islocke .i

the samev comprising va `lever pivoted, at 59.1

\ The front end of the leveris adaptedI in oneposition to be elevated,-,as"shown.inl` Fi' 6 en the. Ybolt -is moved haekwardly, however, and the hook 49? is broughtintooeiigagornent.,with the cartridge rim, said ejector -wardly, -throwingethefemptyshe u so asto be struck by one ofthe 'blades 4 or the lug 48 attached thereto.. This position of the lever 58 is brought about bya s ring GOfacting uponV the rear endof the ever, forcing the same downwardly against the ,hub of the hammer when the hammer is cocked. A rojection 61 formed on the upper edge o said hub, however, holds the rear' end of the lever y58 elevated whenthe hammer is down, thereby causing the front end of the lever to be de ressed as shown 'in Fig. 5, and permitting groeimovement of the forearm. The purpose of this action lock is top-prevent the action of the forearm and extractor mechanism when the hammer is cocked and thereby the possible loss of a loaded cartridge.

At 62 I provide suitable means under `the control of the operator tol prevent sutlicient rearward movement of the forearm to permit'a cartridge to be received from the magazine into the receiver as shown in Figs. 1G and 17. Said stopl 62 is carried by a spring and upon pressing with a thumb upon a button 62', the lug 48 will strike the stop 62 and stop the movement of the car- Arier and bolt at such a place as will retain all of the cartridges in the magazine. By this means I provide for the use of the {irearm as a single shooter when it is. desired to maintain the magazine full for emergency purposes.

Having thus described my invention, I
